Show answer and explanation
✓ Al Gobierno
The executive power belongs to the Government. It applies the laws and directs the Administration and the policy of the country. The legislative power belongs to the Cortes Generales (the Spanish parliament) and the judicial power to the judges and courts. The Government answers to the Congreso de los Diputados, which can control it and, if it loses confidence, bring it down. Trick: "executive" comes from "execute", that is, to put into practice.
